I understand. What I don't understand is why a bridge with height signs gets hit more than once or twice.

That was a long ass video with easily 100 strikes.

Because that's what happens when just anyone can drive a big ass truck.

Have you ever given a second thought to the height signs some bridges have displayed? Probably not when you're in your car.

Now imagine you rented a truck for a day, would you suddenly be vigilant about those signs? Kinda doubt it.

Having said that, there's no excuse for the people who drive trucks professionally.

+1. Most people don't even know how tall their normal pickups are and can do the same thing in low parking garages. I know mine gets too close under 7' so I don't risk it if its less than that.

I guess I'm a bad example due to my CDL and the fact that I do look at bridge signs.

Just seems like after a few accidents they would install one of the yellow warning signs with flashing lights.

Hilarious regardless.

LOL are you kidding or what?? There is a yellow warning sign with flashing lights in that video!

Do you just look at bridge signs IRL and NOT in videos :)
